Maid of Honor
If you asked me who helped shape me into the woman I am today, Julia’s name would come out before you even finished the question. She may technically be my aunt, but in every way that matters, she has been my big sister, my best friend, and my fiercest protector. From sleepovers and scraped knees to late-night heart-to-hearts, she has been my constant and my closest confidant through every season of life. Julia brings an energy that lights up any room, paired with a wisdom that keeps me grounded. I truly cannot imagine saying “I do” without her standing right beside me.
Man of Honor
Ethan may be my younger brother, but he has always had wisdom and wit well beyond his years. From the moment he could talk, he became my biggest cheerleader, occasional challenger, and constant source of comic relief. Our bond is built on shared childhood chaos, heartfelt conversations, and a mutual understanding that no one else quite gets. Whether he was offering surprisingly sage advice when I needed it most or simply making me laugh, Ethan has always been there. Having him as my best man is more than fitting. It is a celebration of the lifelong friendship between siblings who truly get each other.
Bridesmaid
Holly is not just Gordon’s sister. She is my soul sister in every way that counts. From glam sessions and teaching me how to curl my hair to deep talks and uncontrollable laughter, our bond is built on a shared love and a connection that runs far deeper than lipstick shades. Over the years, Holly has become one of my closest confidantes, the kind of friend who shows up with both mascara and the best moral support I could ever ask for. Our friendship is fierce, fun, and unshakably loyal. Having Holly by my side on this day is a no-brainer because she has been there for all the days that led up to it.
Bridesmaid
Karsen and my friendship is the kind that feels effortless, rooted in fun and laughter and a mutual obsession with Raising Cane’s and Angry Orchards(obviously). Whether we are swapping stories over voice memos or telling stories at The Standard, Karsen brings joy, honesty, and the kind of humor that makes every moment more memorable. I am beyond lucky to have her by my side, not just today, but always.
Best Man
Shawn has been one of my closest friends for years, the kind of friend who is more like family. Whether it is late-night talks, spontaneous road trips, or simply showing up when it matters most, Shawn has always been there. Our friendship is built on loyalty, laughter, and countless shared memories that have shaped who we are today. Shawn brings calm, confidence, and a whole lot of heart to every moment, and I could not imagine this day without him standing by my side.
Best Man
KJ and I go way back, second grade to be exact. From recess antics to real-life milestones, our friendship has stood the test of time. We grew up together, laughed through the awkward phases, and supported each other through every twist and turn. KJ is the kind of friend who brings loyalty, humor, and a whole lot of heart to every moment. Having him by my side on this day is a celebration of a bond that has been decades in the making.
Groomsman
James is not just my friend. He is family in every way that matters. Over the years, he has become a constant presence, the kind of person who shows up with loyalty, laughter, and even flowers for my mom. Thoughtful, genuine, and always ready with a good story or a helping hand, James has been there through the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Our bond runs deep, and having him stand beside me on this day is a reflection of the love and respect we share, not just as friends, but as brothers by choice.
